Moooom, if you look the other way at sunset, you will see two points of light, the lower one is Jupiter, the upper one is Mercury.
Only took 48 years for me to see Mercury.
Good party.
Leftover cake, anyone?
Happy Purim Soapy! Also all you other Jewish Mumpers. Ummm… Rosie is the only other Jewish Mumper I can think of off hand.
All purtified for deheathenization. Brekkie consisted of raisin bran (small caps cause it’s the generic kind), a banana, peanut butter toast and oj. Plus coffee, of course. A strange but satisfyin’ brekkie it was.
Ok, off to mess around a bit before headin’ out.
Later Y’all!
You fergot Nooner…
Missed deheathenization today 'cuz my duds weren’t dry. Oh well, I hate the liturgy during Lent anyway.
Off to find WTHU, then I make brekkies for VWife. After that, more boxen must die.
Happy Purim, all! You forgot SO,** swampy**, although he hasn’t been around lately.
Hi pulykamell! Stop by any time. It’s a great place for dropping off the post that wasn’t enough to warrant its own thread.
::reaches for cake::
Glad the St. Patrick’s day do was a success, swampy.
Slept better and am up and at 'em.

**FCD **and daughter have just headed out for breakfast and a jaunt to a fish store. I’ve got a fun-filled day of laundry ahead of me - woohoo! Plus with them gone, I can watch Pride and Prejudice in peace. yay.
But first, a quick shower so I can de-stinkify. Then at least 4 loads of dirty clothes will process as I crochet and veg. Life is good!
Good morning!
I slept pretty good last night. No doubt due to the amount of lobster in my belly! I’ll gladly take any extra lobster you have, Swampy. 
I have laundry and grocery list makin’ and coupon clippin’ and grocery shoppin’ and grocery puttin’ away to do today. Plus I think I’m gonna go get some plants and flahrs and put them in the ground today.
SPRING!
Urgh. The party was very good, but Gnat started getting sick, which means his blood sugar skyrocketed, and he was up from 11-1:30 coughing and crying and feeling sick. Mr. Lissar is sick again, and was up a lot of the night with Gnat. I was up with stomach problems and listeing to Gnat cry.
We’re all kind of tired today, and we’re checking Gnat for ketones every couple of hours and giving him extra insulin.
Oh dearie me. My diet plan has gone so far off track it’s fading away into the distance and I have happily waved goodbye to it! On Friday night 'im indoors decided we should watch a film and drink margaritas. So we did, well it would be rude not to after he went to all the effort of stopping off on his way to pick up Chinese food to also get some limes. That is the first bit of bad news for the diet.
Yesterday we went over to Nottingham, met up with my ex-boss for a couple of beers which became about four…then went for a curry…then went to a rock club to see Turisas which meant more beer…the band were excellent but the beer was awful so we headed off to a pub after they’d gone off stage, and found some yummy beer…then two bottles of red wine. Woke up this morning in need of the healing power of a pint of diet coke and a Wetherspoons roast dinner.
So…there goes the diet for this week!
Good morning all! And happy Purim to Soapy, SpecialOne and Rosie. I just love hamentaschen but haven’t had a good one in like forever!
Okay, didn’t make it to Target yesterday so that’s on for today, in just a bit in fact. We’ll stop at the food court first 'cause I’ve got a-gnawing and a-craving for some Popeye’s chicken. We also have to stop at the grocery store and do our weekly shopping.
Hope everyone enjoys the day today. It’s cooler here, and today’s the first day of Spring!
Laundry is done - 5 loads in all. I watched Pride and Prejudice on Netflix and I finished watching Eddie Izzard at madison garden. **FCD **is napping. Daughter had a tick on her back - ick! Luckily, her dad knows how to remove them things. ick.
Can’t believe my weekend is almost over. And no 3-day weekend till May. 
At least it’s not snowing…
Howdy Y’all! I deheathenated, lunched and napped. That’s been my day. Shortly I shall made a dindin of smoked poke chops, green beens and wild rice. Should be good!
That’s all I got for now.
FCM, one of our big local employers used to give its employees tax day off just so that they would have a holiday before Memorial Day. We don’t have a holiday in there either, but I generally make it a point of taking a couple of days off during the holiday wasteland so that I don’t fee quite as desperate.
I’ve been a bum today. Went to brunch after church (really really nice brunch, including roast beef) and then to Whole Foods, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Pier 1 and Half-Price Books.
In first-day-of-spring news: I have little peony shoots coming up! Didn’t know if the ones I transplanted would come up since they sat in containers all summer. But there are little red buds sticking out of the soil, so they’re at least going to try. Yay!
Now I’m home and sleepy and about to knit for a while before going out to do more garden clean-up. Might also take a nap, since I seem to be getting sleepier and sleepier.
Hope everyone’s having a nice Sunday.
Hugs.

Lazy (ish) day so far. Went for brekkies after mr ems came in from making a quick field run for work, activated Costo Cards, finished up the last of the greencard application paperwork from hell, ordered vacuum sealer and wine fridge of the internets and now I am headed to clean the Master Bath. I may then take a nap.
Crabcakes and roasted veggies for supper. Yum!
Ribs are on the grill, the laundry is all on the couch waiting to be folded, and groceries have been groced.
My husband apologized to me for making me yell at him to help me put away the groceries.
Okay. This is kind of insane. I just got a private message from someone who’d found a comment of mine from 2003 about men in formal clothes (tails or morning attire) being attractive and is into having sex while dressed in formal clothing and wants to meet me if I ever go to England.
::eek::eek::eek::eek:
Okay, what?
My day, which has already been pretty weird, has gotten a lot weirder. Reading the comment, I wasn’t suggesting that I had a formal clothes kink. I think. I was talking about tailoring.
I need a glass of wine and some reality-grounding drugs.
2003?? That’s some delayed reaction!
The afghan is moving right along. Leftovers have been ingested. I’m going to turn off this machine and veg in front of the TV till bed time. So’s I can go to work again in the morning. rah.
<sigh>
Had one box today that I emptied that was more fun than usual. It was the new kettle grill I bought late last fall, and deliberately never put together until now. I even broke it in with some Golden-glo chikkies for this week’s lunch.
Paid bills tonight. It was suckitude X 2, because I covered utilities for 2 addresses. FWIW, the water rate for Moooooooomland is double that of Cottonfield County. I think beer is cheaper at this point.
Off to pack lunch, and do the chores to start the new irk week.
Ima go beddy bye. I’s all sleepified and tahrd. Irk commences anew tomorrow.
Nitey Nite Y’all!
